Descendants of Walter WALLER

 

 

Generation No. 1

 

1.  Walter1 WALLER1 was born Abt. 17272, and died June 1791 in Age 643.  He married Elizabeth UNKNOWN wife of Walter WALLER4.  She was born Abt. 17325, and died November 1811 in Age 796.

 

Notes for Walter WALLER:

No suitable baptism has been found in the Rudgwick Parish Registers.  On the IGI there are two possible baptisms in Sussex:  The information for the first has still to be verified from the Parish Registers

     3rd October 1727 in Ardingley, Walter, son of Thomas and Jane and

     9th February 1727 in Horsham, Walter, son of Henry and Martha. Henry’s and Martha’s

     other children were  Martha (1729) Henry (1731)    Martha (1733) Henry (1735) Sarah

     (1736) Thomas (1737) Mary (1740) Mary (1742) and Charles (1743)

On the IGI there are no suitable baptisms in either Surrey or Hampshire.

 

At the 1748/1749 Lent Assizes Walter and William WALLER were accused of stealing a sheep worth 10/6d from William GARDNER.  They were found not guilty and discharged.   Further research is being undertaken to find out if this Walter WALLER was the person involved.

THE ACCUSED

On the Tuesday afternoon of  the 1748/1749 Lent Assizes the jury was sworn in.

Henry Galland  Joseph Fuller

Walter Galland John Allingham

Jonathan Betchley   William Faulkner

James Burt     John Burt

Walter Chatfield    Thomas Buckwell

John Gannard   Nicholas Vinall

That afternoon they listened to the case against John Mills and found him guilty of murdering Richard Hawkins.  John Mills’ sentence was that he should be hanged.   The jury could not decide on the verdict for his accomplice, John Rennals, who was accused of aiding and abetting Mills and the case was first adjourned until the next morning, when it was again adjourned until the next assizes.

On the Wednesday morning two more men were sentenced to be hanged following guilty verdicts by the same jury.  In the first case that day, William Sheeman had been accused of murdering William Gally, and then John Brown, known as Jockey Brown, had been accused of Highway Robbery. He had stolen twelve guineas from JOHN WALLER.  (As yet he does not appear on our charts).

Another victim had been SARAH TICKNER.  Goods worth 8d, 7s, 1/9d and 6d had been stolen from her by Joseph Mosely and his sentence was transportation for 7 years. Was John Upton luckier as his sentence for stealing goods to the value of 8d was to be whipped?

There were sixteen cases in all, but it was case number six which was of particular interest.  WILLIAM WALLER and WALTER WALLER were accused of stealing a sheep worth

10/6d from William Gardner.  This could be our Walter (the father on Chart 0600), who would have been about 21 years old.  Given the sentences handed out to other miscreants for similar crimes during the day, to be hanged or transported, it was a great relief to read that the two men were found not guilty, and discharged.

If that had not happened, where would we be today?

 

 

On the 6th October 1775 a marriage settlement was drawn up involving Edward NAPPER, Esquire of Hyes, and Mary BOORER, a widow of Ockley, Surrey.  The property was assigned to Walter WALLER of Rudgwick, Peruke Maker, and  James BRABY of Ockley, a Wheelwright.  They were to act as Trustees to ensure that Edward and his bride did not dispose of all or parts of the Hyes estate.  Walter WALLER  has signed the agreement and added his seal.  A Walter WALLER was also involved as witness to many documents over the years which would suggest that he  was well educated, trusted and respected.  Our WALLER family were all able to sign their name very competently in  the Parish Registers. Further research is being undertaken in an attempt to ascertain whether the varous Walter WALLERs are one and the same person.

THE TRUSTEE

If, in 1748, he was involved in activities which led to him being accused of sheep stealing, it could be that by the end of his life WALTER WALLER had become a respected citizen.  In 1775 Edward Napper, Esquire, of Hyes in Rudgwick, the son of John Napper and his wife, previously Mary Trower, was planning to marry Mary Boorer.  The marriage settlement included the property at Hyes which was to go to Edward for life, then to Mary Boorer for her life, and subsequently to their heirs.   An agreement was drawn up to protect the inheritance once it was in the hands of the young couple.  It meant that before he could sell any part of the estate, Edward Napper had to go to the trustees to whom the property was assigned on the 6th October 1775.

The trustees were James Braby of Ockley, a wheelwright, and WALTER WALLER of Rudgwick, a peruke (wig) maker.

 

This was not the only occasion when a WALTER WALLER of Rudgwick was called upon to be involved in such an agreement.  There were many instances where this name appears as a witness to signatures in parish documents.  Thus, if the two men are the same person, at least by the time he was reaching his fifties, the position held by WALTER WALLER within the village of Rudgwick was surely one of importance.

                 With Daniel LONGHURST Age 20, Ag Lab, George WALLER (16) and Ann (8)   No husband

                 present

 

                 I think this information about Daniel LONGHURST is incorrect.  There is a son Daniel for

                 Daniel and Rebecca baptised in 1839 on family.search and on the 1851 census, there is a

                 son Daniel age 12

                 So I looked at the 1841census again. 

                 In the age column the "2" has been entered in line with the units position of other ages, and

                 then a "0" has been squashed in beside the "2". 

                 In the occupation column there is "Ag Lab" with a cross beside it. 

                 I think this entry should be for Daniel LONGHURST age 2 son of Daniel and Rebecca, with no

                 occupation and that the "Ag Lab" occupation belong to step-brother George WALLER

                Living with Daniel and Rebecca was son Daniel LONGHURST (12) born Rudgwick, Sussex

                LONGHURST?  She was a Mary WALLER who appears at different times to use the names

                Mary, Mary Ann or Ann.  We think, therefore, she was the Ann who appeared on the 1841

                census above.
